A verse inscribed in fire and light (2017).
Sekhmet II (I Started a Dream)
I wish they were lions, and not simply
Cruel scavengers, who plague us.
Give me Scar and not Bannon
So that I can try my teeth and claws on something that can claw back
A war with flesh and blood, for
There is a dread, greater than the graying of your temples
And the shrines to the bodies of people you’ve never met
Greater than Drumpf (as I cross myself) or minion memes, sweet Mary mother of Bernie
Sleep is the free version that comes pre-installed, but some cruelly opt to pay for premium.
Does it occur to you that they are sleeping indefinitely?
Does it occur to you that you are a Duracell battery, dripping
Clear acid all over the place?
But you can light up a room, girl
You only live once. But I’m tired.
–
There is treason, lions who have no pride
So many tombs that need filling
And I’ve done a lot of stupid things in my life, but you are not one of them.
